- Compact Loader Repair Training to Extend Equipment Lifespan
Mini Skid Steer Maintenance Training is for operators, owner-operators, and maintenance personnel who run compact or stand-on skid steers. These machines spend their lives switching between augers, buckets, trenchers, breakers, and grapples, which puts constant stress on the auxiliary hydraulics and the quick-attach interface, so disciplined maintenance is what keeps them earning.
The course covers the full servicing picture: the daily walkaround, rubber-track tensioning and drive-system checks, auxiliary hydraulic service and coupler inspection, engine fluids and filtration, the lubrication routine, and safe attachment connection at the universal plate. The focus is on spotting wear and leaks early so a small machine on a tight site does not become the reason the whole crew stops.
Provincial OHS regulations across Canada require employers to maintain equipment in safe condition and to ensure work is done by competent workers. This program supports that by documenting that your operators and maintenance staff know how to inspect and service a mini skid steer correctly throughout its service life.

Why choose us
Mini skid steers earn their keep through attachments, so their hydraulics, couplers, and quick-attach plate take heavy abuse. Equipment Tutor centres this course on exactly those high-wear systems, plus the rubber tracks and engine servicing that keep a compact loader productive on landscaping, hardscape, and tight construction sites.
The training helps Canadian employers meet their OHS obligation to keep equipment in safe working condition by giving operators and maintenance staff a documented, repeatable servicing routine.
Student reviews
Finally maintenance built for mini loaders
We swap attachments all day on our stand-on units and the hydraulic and quick-attach sections were exactly what my guys needed. Fewer coupler problems already this season.

Checklists alone are worth it
Clear, no-nonsense walkthrough of track tensioning, greasing, and filter changes. We printed the daily checklist and it is now part of every morning startup.

Good practical training
Covers the drive system and hydraulics well and is easy to follow online. A few more attachment-specific tips would push it to perfect, but it is a strong maintenance resource.

Frequently asked questions
Does this course cover the auxiliary hydraulics for attachments?
Yes. Because attachments are the whole point of a mini skid steer, the course covers servicing the auxiliary hydraulic system and inspecting the couplers and hoses that power them.
Is it suitable for stand-on and walk-behind compact loaders too?
Yes. The inspection and servicing principles apply to compact, stand-on, and ride-on mini skid steers. Always confirm exact specifications against your machine's own manual.
Do I need a mechanical background to take it?
No. The training is written for operators and maintenance staff and explains each servicing task step by step, with no formal mechanical experience required.
Will I get a certificate of completion?
Yes. On finishing the course you receive a certificate you can keep in your training file or provide to an employer as evidence of maintenance competency.
